Ordoro Adds Inventory and Tracking Writeback for BigCommerce

Archive note: This post documents an early milestone in Ordoro’s integration history. In April 2011, Ordoro introduced two-way BigCommerce integration, allowing shipment and inventory information to move between Ordoro and connected stores.

Before this update, merchants could import BigCommerce orders into Ordoro and manage fulfillment from one place. Version 1.11.0 expanded that connection by adding tracking and inventory writeback.

Once an order shipped, Ordoro could send the tracking number and updated order status back to BigCommerce. This reduced the need for merchants to copy shipment details manually and helped customers receive more timely updates.

The release also introduced inventory writeback. When inventory changed in Ordoro, updated quantities could be sent back to connected BigCommerce stores. This was especially useful for merchants selling the same products through more than one storefront or marketplace.

Why Two-Way Integration Matters

Importing orders is only one part of a connected eCommerce workflow. Information also needs to move back to the systems where the order originated.

A two-way integration can help merchants:

  • Return tracking information to the sales channel
  • Keep order statuses current
  • Synchronize inventory quantities
  • Reduce manual data entry
  • Lower the risk of overselling
  • Give fulfillment and customer-service teams more consistent information

These capabilities represented an important step toward the multichannel workflows merchants use today.

From One Integration to a Connected Operation

Ordoro’s BigCommerce integration has expanded considerably since 2011, but the purpose remains familiar. Merchants need orders, inventory, shipping, and tracking information to move between the systems they rely on without creating more manual work.

Today, Ordoro connects with supported storefronts, marketplaces, carriers, suppliers, and business systems to help merchants manage those workflows more efficiently from one platform.
